21/03/2025: An osteria that makes simplicity and a homely feel its strong points. I admit that at first glance the exterior and the entrance had made me turn up my nose, since they do not appear very inviting, but when I arrived in the innermost room, I had to change my mind. In fact, I have always loved the rustic taste that certain places give to their interiors. At first glance, I was not convinced by the cost of the cold cuts platter with fried gnocco and giardiniera, higher than the Piacenza standard; but seeing the quantity of cold cuts and the goodness of everything, I was able to change my mind. A truly excellent appetizer, with seasoned cold cuts and fried gnocco which, despite being made up of smaller pieces than normal, was enough. The bread included in the cover charge was also delicious. The pasta was perfectly al dente: the tortelli with tail were excellent as per tradition, while I found the crescents with taleggio and pears to be very delicate. At times, perhaps, a little too much, since in some ravioli you could barely taste the seasoning. In any case, the portions were right. The desserts made us end the dinner in style: the house tiramisu literally seemed to be made at home, since my mother has always assembled it in a similar way; the sbrisolona, on the other hand, was perfect with its very light salty aftertaste, an excellent contrast with the mascarpone cream. The prices are normal for the quality of the dishes offered. An extra touch to the pleasantness of the evening was given by the staff, which I immediately noticed was easy-going. I don't know if it's a family business, but that's what I perceived during this experience: so much familiarity, warmth and commitment to their business. I found it extremely sweet to be served also by the little daughter of a woman on the staff, but in general the whole team was impeccable. We left with a smile on our faces and full bellies. I will definitely go back soon because I'm very curious to try the chestnut tagliatelle with braised meat too. I love it when menus combine traditional dishes with one-of-a-kind finds.
